Lorde surprises her fans yet again
Lorde, who arrived at the venue via boat, sported a casual yet stylish look, flashing her midriff in a crossover halterneck top with a tassel trim, paired with black cargo trousers. She accessorized with rectangular sunglasses and styled her hair in waves. The surprise performance was hosted by Universal Music to mark the release of her highly anticipated fourth studio album.
The album's cover artwork has sparked conversation, featuring an x-ray of a pelvis showing her hip bones, belt buckle, and even an intrauterine device. While it's unclear whether the image is of Lorde herself, the striking visual was shared by the artist on her Instagram, along with the announcement of the album's title and release date—June 27.
Lorde's appearance in Berlin follows her recent public debut of a romance with musician and producer Jim E-Stack, 33. The pair were seen together at the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, where Lorde performed a surprise set. Following the festival, the couple was spotted at London Heliport, further fueling rumors of their blossoming relationship. E-Stack, known for his work with artists like Haim, Bon Iver, and Empress Of, was also seen with Lorde at the festival, where they were photographed getting close on stage.
However, their romance has drawn attention due to E-Stack's ex-girlfriend, Kacy Hill, who recently took to TikTok to express her frustration over the end of their six-and-a-half-year relationship, allegedly following E-Stack's collaboration with Lorde.

He expressed gratitude to the journalist community for their consistent cooperation and extensive coverage on each of his visits to the city. Speaking about the purpose of his current visit, the Governor said that today's program is part of the 14th August Independence Day celebrations and the 'Battle of Truth' Marka-e-Haq series of events. Governor Sindh noted that just as the Governor House had hosted renowned singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan earlier, today the people of Hyderabad will enjoy the performance of celebrated artist Ali Zafar at Bagh-e-Mustafa, Latifabad. The event will be a grand, colourful musical evening, complete with digital screens displaying the 'Battle of Truth' Marka e Haq festivities, and decorations matching those at the Governor House. He congratulated the Sindh Government for the successful musical programme held earlier at Rani Bagh, calling it a vibrant part of the Independence Day celebrations. Governor Sindh stated that whether it is musical shows like the one at Rani Bagh, today's mega event at Bagh-e-Mustafa, or the IT courses being launched, the good days for the people of Hyderabad have already begun. Regarding IT courses, Governor Kamran Khan Tessori announced that all preparations have been completed, 1,000 computers have been purchased for the computer labs, and over 50 faculty members have been appointed. The first phase will be launched at the university previously established by MQM, while discussions are ongoing with the Divisional Commissioner and Mayor Hyderabad for a permanent venue.

Chaos mars grand musical concert in Hyderabad
Amid disarray and mayhem, the grand musical concert organised by the Sindh government to mark Independence Day and Marka-e-Haq went off late Friday night in Hyderabad. Tens of thousands of citizens had thronged Rani Bagh, the city's largest yet underdeveloped recreational venue, hoping to enjoy captivating performances by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sanam Marvi, and other renowned artists. Distant parking areas forced many to walk over a kilometre to reach the venue, yet spirits remained high - until rowdy crowds breached the enclosures designated for families. The bamboo fences separating these zones were broken down by groups of young men, resulting in altercations and incidents of harassment, including attacks on media workers. "We came here expecting a splendiferous night of music and enjoyment, but what we encountered was a wild crowd poised to misbehave with women," said Irfan Kazi, a resident of Qasimabad. He described how the mob, allegedly allowed free entry, tried to force their way toward the stage, shoving aside those already there. "It is one of the worst events," a young woman complained. "Women are being insulted, and their dupattas and scarves are being pulled down." The event was organised by the Sindh Government in collaboration with the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi. In the lead-up to the concert, officials from the district administration, the police, Mayor Kashir Ali Shoro, and the council's president Muhammad Ahmed Shah made multiple visits to inspect the arrangements. Police later stated that crowd management inside the venue had been delegated to council-appointed volunteers. However, many attendees expressed dismay, expecting police to maintain control during such a large public event. The Hyderabad concert was one of three such events organised by the provincial government in collaboration with the Arts Council, with others held in Sukkur and Karachi. By the time Rahat Fateh Ali Khan took the stage around 11pm, many families had already begun leaving the venue in frustration and concern. The event reportedly cost the government around Rs50 million. Despite the chaos, Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon issued a statement on Saturday congratulating the organisers on a "successful" event. Speaking at the concert, Sindh Culture Minister Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah congratulated the nation on its 78th Independence Day and thanked the council and its president for making the event possible. Sindh Minister for Irrigation Jam Khan Shoro, an MPA from Hyderabad, also addressed the crowd.
